Answer:

  • The Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise)
  • The Three-Fifths Compromise

The two compromises affected the way a state's representation in Congress would be determined.

Explanation:

Both of these compromises were devised during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  

The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.  The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size.  The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature.  Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a way of accounting (somewhat) for the population of slaves in states that permitted slavery.  For taxation and representation purposes, the question was whether slaves should count in the population figures.  (They were not considered voting citizens at that time.)   The Three-Fifths Compromise said that three out of every five slaves could be counted when determining a state's population size for determining how many seats that state would receive in the House of Representatives.

<span>The Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago from mixes of hot gases and solids. During those days Earth almost had no atmosphere and its surface was molten. Through time the Earth cooled and the atmosphere formed consisting mainly of gases that spewed from volcanoes. The atmosphere was extremely hot, composed of hydrogen, sulfide, methane, and carbon dioxide that is 200 times more potent compared to today’s atmosphere. Half a billion years later, Earth started to cool and solidify its surface making it conducive for water collection and making life officially inhabit the planet.</span>

How did King Phillip cause the Great Schism?
Gnesinka [82]

Best answer:  by disagreeing with the pope

There had been much struggle between Pope Boniface VIII and the French king, Philip IV, over control of the church in France.  Philip actually sent men to rough up Boniface during that time.  After Boniface's death and then a papacy of less than a year by Benedict XI, pressure from France resulted in the electing of a French cardinal as Pope Clement V, in 1305.  Clement moved the office of the papacy from Rome to Avignon, which was in Holy Roman Empire territory but near the border of France.  The papal offices stayed in Avignon, under French domination, from 1309 to 1376, with seven popes total governing the church from there.

Gregory XI, the last French pope, returned the offices of the papacy to Rome in 1377.  When Gregory XI died in 1378, an Italian again was elected to be pope – Urban VI.  But very quickly many cardinals (especially the French) regretted the election of Urban VI.  The French cardinals put forth their own rival pope, Clement VII, later in 1378.  This began the Great Schism, also known as the Western Schism or Papal Schism. There were competing popes claiming the authority of that office and the allegiance of Catholics in Europe.  The split in the papacy lasted till 1417.
